    14 year old learning skills

    INTRO 
    Starting young with a great attitude is a massive advantage, so great for coming here and asking. I started coding when I was 11/12 (now 23), and the ability to focus on learning without spending resources on living is a massive advantage. If you feel you are technical/could be technical, would...

    Should I Continue with Web Design or Learn how to make AI

    QUESTION 
    Agreed on this. You don't need to know the ins and outs of AI models in order to harness the power of AI. OpenAI and others (pipeline.ai etc.) are used by several startups valued at Billions (e.g. Jasper.ai leverages GPT-3, 100m ARR over 1 yr, valued at 1.5bn), and most of the time do not start...

    Has Anybody With a Degree in Economics Got Any Value From It?

    HOT! 
    Can relate to this completely, felt exactly the same in first and 2nd year tbh but I think it all comes down to the degree content and where you want to go. If you want to go into Investment Banking / Consulting - skills such as Corporate Finance, Net Present Value etc. are really useful and...

    Investment Banker or Entrepreneur?

    EXECUTION 
    Bit of a bump to the thread, although I know most of you probs arent interested. I ended up becoming an investment banker - am doing a year long internship at a very good bank. My plan is to build up some capital to then go onto either pump cash into an area I feel there could be high growth...

    Crowdfunding... Making it happen.

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Right, it's been a long while since my last update and there have been a few reasons for that - a bit of a steep learning curve as I previously only had experience in importing ready-made non-customised goods! My internship wasn't too stressful, just a massive time drain and a mess up...

    Crowdfunding... Making it happen.

    EXECUTION 
    Apologies for the late update. Have been very busy lately learning / building / designing and working at my internship - I don't feel good about having so much time in the day taken up with unrelated work (but I am learning python during the day so still helps) but I am committing at least 3...

    Crowdfunding... Making it happen.

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry for the late reply, seems I forgot to hit send when I wrote it out! So the MOQ is 1000, which totals at around 15000$, so I will have around $5k breathing space for errors, shipping and any other mishaps extras I need. All shipping to consumers will be extra on top of the pre-orders/...

    Crowdfunding... Making it happen.

    EXECUTION 
    UPDATE: In terms of progress on my goals - slow progress due to the fact I am revising for my last finals exam: Product: - In final stage discussions with a manufacturer for samples about combining two products that they already produce of this type to create an updated, more modern look than...

    Crowdfunding... Making it happen.

    EXECUTION 
    Hi, thanks for your comment and thoughts, it is really interesting perspective and has given me food for thought. The main thing that I feel crowdfunding offers is an "event" or movement of sorts. When a product gets a lot of traction on a site such as Indiegogo - it offers a legitimacy to a...

    Crowdfunding... Making it happen.

    EXECUTION 
    A Bit of Background: So over the past few months I have been stalling in terms of creation, I initially went through a phase of creation hibernation after joining college (freshers, partying) and followed through with a (relatively successful) online poker phase after an after-interview...

    Yoann, 41, a frog lost in the darkness

    INTRO 
    I know personally of around 4 people who do digital marketing / SMMA in the UK and are making these sorts of numbers per client, of course business owners are more reluctant in France, but if you can prove value to them, offer them a free consultation / free trial period of a week for example...

    Yoann, 41, a frog lost in the darkness

    INTRO 
    Merci pour ton intro Yoann! Enfin, un autre francophone dans le forum! Anyway, I thought I'd whack a few of my thoughts down for you -- I think you are making very big steps in the right direction. Now is really a great time to start being an entrepreneur in France, with Macron gradually...

    Entrepreneurs! Is this worth $20-40k?

    HOT! 
    Seeing as I know of one of the alumni, I thought it might be interesting to share. If you've been using Snapchat, or Youtube you've likely seen a video by YesTheory, a youtube channel funded by Brother with over 1 million subs in which a group of friends do 'challenges' with a theme of saying...

    Copywriting, Failing and Readjusting

    EXECUTION 
    I agree with the fact that Fiverr may not be the best place to find work, due to reasons mentioned by @Stargazer and the fact that its placement of gigs is largely dependent on the rating of the seller, and of the gig itself - so no sales (and consequently no ratings) leads to less chance of a...

    Instagram Marketing Services - Journey to $10,000 Per Month

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Obviously the professionals would do a better job and would bring higher value clients to the table but would require payment w/out any guarantees. If you are doing affiliate based revenue for college students there is no harm as at the end of the day theres no payment unless you get revenue.
